<p>Swizzle operations are performed by using the <code>.</code> operator in conjunction with any combination
of between two to four component names, either from the set <code>xyzw</code> or <code>rgbw</code> (though not intermixed).
They return a new vector with the same number of components as specified in the swizzle attribute.</p>
